Love in the Heart

Love in the Heart
Session 2 Chapter 17



This time my vacation was quite long, for two months. I guess I have to take care. Opening the eyes of my heart long enough to close, locking it only to the name of a girl who might never have thought of me.


Some time later, Dirga directly introduced me to his girlfriend as well. It turned out to be a beautiful Muslim girl. Using a veil, and unpretentious.


“Oh, is this what Harry is called?”


“Iya, The. This is the friend I told you about, the hero of true love.” Well, what the fuck is Dirga?


“Emang Dirga what story?” I asked the Princess, Dirga's girlfriend.


“Aa’ really stories. He said you were fighting to find someone you love. Get to Padang. Turns out to be one major.”


Well, that's really embarrassing. Why did he tell the princess?


“See a’! her face is red?!” haduh, back Princess teased me.


“Have..already..!! pity him Yang. Will I be a target again?” Dirga tried to code her boyfriend. Because I know I don't like that.


“Sorry yes Ry? I am also amazed by your story. How are you related to whom.. Yu.yu...”.


“Yukita” by Dirga.


“Iya, Yukita. How is your relationship right now?”


“Yeah, that's how it is. We are just friends, classmates,” I replied softly.


“So until now he still does not know?” ask Princess. “Kog, it feels like I'm so excited about that Yukita huh? Not very sensitive.”


“Actually not the wrong Yukanya Yang?” sela Dirga's. We both noticed it.


“Actually that's wrong Harry himself. His treatment of a man in love with an ordinary woman makes no difference. So maybe because of that, this Yukita does not respond, aka not realize this bego child likes it.”


“Ah! You know! Why me again.”


“But A’ see it. We are talking about Yukita, the look in her eyes is different. Especially if he sees Yukita directly, surely dalem really tuh. He is the one who is not sensitive A’.”


“That's it, don't talk about him anymore. Looks like I'm getting saturated chasing his love.” Dirga looked at me sharply.


“Full? Or do you already have a new gig again?” I shook with certainty.


“Why can you talk like that?” keep attacking me.


“Gue bored Ga. The same thing keeps happening?”


“Hey, Dude? You forgot your man's promise?”


“Iya, I know. I promise to keep him until I die. But he's alone? It can really make me die young, it's really hard to understand his heart!”


“I think I want to meet with Yukita it deh,” said Putri with anxiety.


“Already..! don't talk about Yukita's name. For a moment I wanted to escape that name. I want to open a new sheet.”


“Yakin Bro?” I shake my head for sure.


“Or want me to introduce my friend?” sela Putri's.


“But, I'm not sure I can forget it myself, honestly.


“Yukita, it turns out you are great.can melt the heart of this cold man,” chirps Dirga shook her head and smiled.


“Iya A’ Harry's love story to Yukita was so touching to me. Aa’ too huh? Don't look like Hary?”


“Quiet Yang, Aa’ will keep our love until death.” It feels like vomiting to hear my best friend's chatter.


***


I don't know, it feels like it needs nicotine to make this feeling calm. It has been a long time since I smoked.


I open it, I take one stick, I pinch it in the lips. Looking for a match, which I don't know where I've been. Suddenly, someone snatched the cigarette that was already in my mouth.


A beautiful girl I knew smiled, played a cigarette and stepped on it.


“This is not good for you!” I took one more stick, then all the cigarettes in hand were snatched and put into the trash can in the park.


“So long ago did not meet, I did not think you could fall like this?” I looked up, looked up at the sky, there were no stars,


“To this day, I still love your cold attitude towards me.”


“It's Pon, I want to be alone!”


“Harry, I want you to make me a place of escape. Look for me when you feel hurt!”


“Why are you still waiting for me?”


“I told you about the last time we met, didn't I?”


“Why do you never despair?”


“Because the best need to fight!”


“Although only as a breakout?”


“Iya, even if only as your escape. Wh why? Have you started to falter and doubt what you've been looking for all this time?”


Inwardly wanted to hide from her, making a boyfriend for now, but it came back to light, Yukita's face smiling at me. Why does it keep shadowing me?


Ah, I'm a man. A true man will not break his own promise. True men will not give up until the war is declared completely over.


“Pon, be...be a good friend until the end for me?”


“Ry...? just friends?”


“Iya, just friends. Sorry!” I'm leaving her. I still don't think about that stubborn girl. What exactly is he looking for from me?


So the various pains that I gave him kept wanting to have me?


***


Various activities I do during the holidays in Bandung, useful activities, donating knowledge and energy to children less fortunate not to be able to go to school.


Gathering with many children turned out to gradually make the wound heal by itself. Providing entertainment for those who are good at reading, by giving comics that have not been read again to them.


Long enough my mind no longer dwells on the name Yukita. Doing something useful has taught me a lot of valuable lessons. So I realized, life is not just about love. Not thinking about women. Not just to feel pain in the soul.


I didn't realize, all of those activities led me to the end of a long vacation. The foster children I was studying were sad when I had to leave her.


“Kak, when is sister back?”


“I'll be back every holiday with the sisters!”


“Yaaahh.. Our handsome brother go far?”


“Quiet sisters. Every time there is a meeting, there is a farewell. But there are still other brothers who will continue to help you in learning.! You guys should be excited huh!”


“Good brother!” answer them in unison.


I don't think I'll see that face again tomorrow. Is he healthy? Right, I never once tried to contact him this time. It turned out to be very helpful in arranging the heart that yesterday was very tangled.


Hopefully this time I can be a more patient, mature, and wise person. Can be a good leader, if it's true he's my soul mate.
